Another speaker told us that zones de-
velopment depends entirely upon the In
fluences brought to bear upon him 7"
How anything can he developed out Of
naught, We fail to see; but we know that
many things which can never be compre.
hended by small minds are very simple to
great ones. We cannot, however, refrain
from wondering what have been the en-
virons of the speaker.
Still another speaker sadly bewiidsred
us With his definitions. He told us that
s'science is classified Knowledge" that
Education is definite influence upon
the pupil by the teacherc and that "this
influence is exerted upon the pupil in
three ways, via. by example, by disci-
pline and by instruction. He informed
as that discipline is the training Of the
will by accustoming it to do certain
things and ended his discourse, if we
mistake not, by saying that 'steachiug
will soon be regarded as science, not as
an art !" II we did not misunderstood
the gentleman in one or more of the
above instances, we fail to reconcile his
statements. and to see how teaching can
be science. We had supposed it to be an
art, inasmuoh as it is the application of
the principles of science.
One speaker laid down as fact that
"no man eau be properly trained for life
except 10 the public school !! T.
One of the arguments advanced ia sup

training, evil influences will be brought

in the schools--therefore the SCHOOL, is the

Vocal music was rendered on this occa>
sion, the chief point of merit of which
was that not a person in the audience
could form any idea as to what the words
of the songs were.
There was much crying Of ''good,
good much clapping Of hands aud
stamping Of feet. Have you ever seen
the poor, degraded drunkard lift TO his
lips the full jug ? Have you heard the
sound SO like to "good, good, good,
good, y made by the gurgling liquor as It
flows from the mouth OF the Jug Yes, IL
is good, and the drunkard smacks his
lips over it, but 1t is poison, and slowly
and surely is sapping the life of Its VIC
tim. So It is here, there Is much crying
of good. good, good" but these things
are productive Of evil, and Of evil alone,
and sometime-may 1t not be too late !!
teachers win realize this, and viii cry out
against the evil.

WHY THE SOUTH NEEDS NATIONAL :
AID FOR COMMON SCHOOLS.

Col. A. s. Coylar of Nashville, Tenn,
in late address, in speaking Of the
situation, said of the South, -
Look at our condition. The prop
erty of Southern people, to the extent Of
81 200, 600, 900, has been converted into
citizens. In addition, we are taxed to
pay the cost of our subjugation, q debt
originally of $4,000, 10000 We are
taxed to pay millions and millions in the
way Of pensions to the Union soldiers.
Besides, our country was laid waste, and
our lands reduced to half their former
value. In our poverty we are feebly
trying to establish q system Of public
schools, and the fund we raisc has to be
applied to both races. say feebly. In
Tennessee we have about 500, 600 child
rem that ought to be at school 22f, 900
of them never see school house
1--WE are nearly ut the foot in illiteracy.
We have 10000 women raising families,
who can neither read nor write.
Now, We need this money. don't we ?
Who among those who eight this mea.
sure will favor doubling our State and
county taxes? Can any man be found :?
Will single man be elected to the leg
islature who favors it? Aud yet all say
something must be done. The system
must be improved. How can il be done
without money?
ITO talk of improving onr schools
without Federal aid to declare for pub
lie schools, and oppose all known means
to help them along, lis mookery.

Enumeration IN 1896.

Statistics indicate that the immigra-
ton TO the United States for 1886 will
amount 10 about 400, 900 souls. In eleven
months 365, SIT foreigners have come to
stay by way OF ocean ports, while in
1885, on the first Of December, 314, 645
had arrived. A considerable increase
over last year may therefore be looked
for But in 1882 the total was 1856, 900,
and in 1881 100000. The New York
Tribune says: despite the increase
OF this year, a comparison of these
figures with those of previous years will
encourage those patriotic Americans who
fear that immigration will swamp us.
There is still a possible chanco for M
tive-born Americans. Moreover, it
should not be supposed they add nothing
to the nations wealth. On an average Il
is estimated that each one brings in $50
in money. That would make their con-
tribution TO our wealth this year about
$50, 100000"

OUR HEAVIEST CURSE.

The growth of the saloon power is the
heaviest curse that affiicts this country,
morally, socially and politically. We
use the words deliberately. Once on
time it was said "money is the root of
all evil" To-day in the United States
the rum traffic is the source of three
fourths. perhaps more, of the prevalent
crime and misery. This is not the OK.
aggeration Of any prohibitionist fanatic.
II is q solemn fact. Not merely the
wealth, but the manhood and morals
also Of the community, especially in
large cities, are being steadily sspped
by tho vampire OF the saloon. Any in
telligent man who walks through our
populous streets at night, or who spends
an hour in one Of our police courts next
morning, must bid fervent God -speed
to the crusade against the saloon. The
evil is 30 glaring, so gigantic and SO ag-
gressiye that no argument ought TO be
necessary to its condemnation. II is q
malediction always operative, and al
ways gathering new strength as it preys
upon the vitality Of the land New

AT the annual meeting of the Burling-
ton County Agricultural Society, held at
Mount Holly on Saturday, Henry I.
Budd, en- behalf Of the Directors, gave q
comparative statement of the business of
the past year, which showed marvellous
increase over the receipts for 1885. The
report of Treasurer T.. b. Jones showed !:
Receipts, $50, 1880 expenditures, $685.
092. so balance on hand, $40, 1850. This
is the best showing ever made since the
socety's organization, and would enable
the society to pay dividend of $25 per
share, but instead OF dividing the money,
it was decided to invest it in permanent
improvements. A resolution was adopted
urging the directors TO secure an appro-
priation from the State for every agri-
cultural society, the amount to be gov
erned by the amount Of premiums offered.
Il was decided to build new grand stand,
at a cost not exceeding SET, 900, and the
directors vera empowered to borrow that
amount by giving per cent. bonds, Sc
cured by mortgage. The plan of the new
structure has already been drawn, and it
will be $50 feet long and two stories high.
The present grand stand will be convert
ed into an exhibition building.

That enterprising newspaper. the Chi

tains it, aud Is failure where 1t does not.
II amounts to about the same thing as a
local option law, with this very important
difference: That under local option law

ia restricted, and those who sell pay a
heavy tax; whereas, in Kansas, where
liquor is sold at all, it is without such re :
striction, without the payment of any tax,

morally, for both buyer and seller.
